Stunner of a day!
We started in crystal blue, flat water at Central Station for an awesome dive and snorkel. White tip reef sharks, grey reef sharks, turtles, more fish than we could count, sting rays and octopus. A big leopard ray met us right at the bottom near the mooring and his spots were amazing! Later in the dive a huge cowtail ray rested half buried in sand while divers swam up nice and close. Just such an excellent site today!

And the whale sharks were amazing, too. We swam with three today and had so many swims with them that we were all too exhausted to do any more! Our favourite whale shark today was actively feeding and standing on his tail. He would come right up to the back of the boat, mouth opening and closing, sucking down plankton for all he was worth! He even nose-bumped the marlin board and boat several times. Awesome doesn't even begin to describe our time with the whale sharks today, but it will have to do!
